SAP BW Datasource credentials error - Personal gateway
Anonymous
What is the error message when you enter your credential? Try the credentials in both desktop(datasources setting) and service(Dataset edit credential).

Hello,
The errors is as follows:
Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the SapBusinessWarehouse source are invalid.
But I am 100% sure the credentials are correct.
Also, in desktop the refresh works.
Also, the personal gateway is working for other sources ( like files saved locally).
I have the same issue.
Fine to connect to network drives & SQL, but Power BI will not accept credentials for BW.
Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the SapBusinessWarehouse source are invalid. (Source at cibw3/85/100.)
However the credentials are correct, and work for Power BI desktop.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one...
I checked with an IT guy in my company and he concluded that it is not an issue of the gateway / power bi service or with the credentials.
He says the issue is some firewall most likely blocking my machine conecting with power bi service...
Hi,
Thanks for that! It gives me somewhere to look.
Not sure I will be allowed to bypass any default company firewall settings.. but I can ask!!
